9:00 am Rally Class - Advanced, Excellent and Masters Exercises
An energizing, skill-building class! We’ll break down each exercise step by step so you can teach it clearly, build teamwork with your dog and have confidence in the ring. (If you don't have attention with your dog, consider joining the Obedience Foundations class)

10:15 am Obedience - Foundations for the Performance Dog
No matter which dog sport you participate in, you need attention
which leads to focus and engagement - and an enthusiastic dog who is eager, confident, and excited to perform because they know it pays!

11:30 am Agility Class - An upbeat introduction to teamwork, confidence, and obstacle skills! (if you have not done agility, we recommend that you join the Obedience Foundations class)

TDX Tracking Workshop at North Star in Somerville, ME on Saturday- Obstacles and Cross Tracks - a day filled with learning with AKC Tracking Judge Carolyn Fuhrer. Despite the wild wind, our dogs met the challenges! Crossing a road, negotiating hedge rows, learning about cross tracks - it was a full and successful day for nine terrific dog/hander teams!!
